Severe disruptions are anticipated on the London Underground due to a potential strike by RMT union members. This strike is scheduled to take place over four days. The union represents workers who are currently in negotiations over work hours and shift alterations. While previous strike actions have been canceled, a resolution seems to be on the horizon.
Expected Impact on Underground Services
If the strike proceeds, disruptions will affect several lines. While some services will continue, others will face significant disruptions. The following lines will likely be out of service:
- Circle line
- Piccadilly line
- Metropolitan line (between Baker Street and Aldgate)
- Central line (between White City and Liverpool Street)
It’s important to note that other transport services, such as the Elizabeth line, DLR, London Overground, buses, and trams, are expected to operate as usual during this time.
Projected Timeline of Disruptions
Based on previous strike patterns, here is the anticipated disruption schedule:
| Date | Expected Disruption |
|---|---|
| Monday, 1st June | Late evening – Some disruption expected towards the end of the day |
| Tuesday, 2nd June | Significant disruption expected on all lines – Journey completion by 9 PM recommended |
